3D Printed Cup Holder for 1965 FJ45 (1 Viewer)

[OPMACHINE]

Hey everybody,

I am playing around with 3D printed cup holders/ I-phone pocket/ small flashlight holder.

This one is 834 layers of Onyx and Carbon Fiber reinforcement. I am utilizing 2x rubber encased 35lb magnets for non invasive mounting.

For version 2.0, I am going to recess the magnets into the holder, and possibly add a UBS or 12V outlet.

I would love to hear some ideas for other things that would be useful to have. I am happy to share my CAD files with anybody that want to make their own. This one took about 36 hours to print and utilized a lot of carbon fiber so $$$$$$.

Would the magnets damage the phone? Wipe the memory? Otherwise very nice design! Maybe a teq logo on the top.

Hey @kunzma the phone needs to be considered. We used directional magnets with a rubber and steel case that encapsulate the magnets and also focusing the magnet field down.

REQ would be great, but I opted for our shop logo.

This looks great.

Maybe a hole in the bottom of the phone slot for charging?

Where would this go in the truck?

I believe it will sit on the transmission tunnel just behind the shifter.

.........design something that look like metal.

Intended to magnetically sit on the trans tunnel.

@redfj45can, We could CNC machine out of (insert material of choice), but as @Rix 45 pointed out this is already of $100.00+ solution to a $10.00 problem.

@redfj45can I really like the aluminium version attached above! An aluminum sheet metal option would be pretty simple to laser cut, fold and weld.

Price range 4 your finished aluminium cup holder near 45$ ....?........................................................................................................

I think $45.00 is very doable over a production run of 50 units or more. The first one will cost a few hundred if you incorporate the design and machine programming cost. Might be worth doing if the market was bigger than 7 units.

Nice bank note!

Did these ever get made? I'm tired of spilling my coffee trying to keep the mug between my legs. With no power steering, its a two arm operation driving my 40.

 

[OPMACHINE]

@EWheeler I made on for myself and one for a buddy.

 

[DomSmith]

I’d buy one.
